| Doorway to the Incan room of three temples. Although the convent was originally built over this, a huge earthquake in 1950 exposed it again, giving archaeologists a chance to restore it. Note the shape of the doorway, and the windows to the back: the Incans were very big on trapezoids, and good thing, because the added stability the shape provides against earthquakes is what kept structures like this one intact, while 90% of the Spanish construction around and on top of it was reduced to rubble. Way to show those Spanish! |
